Hi, I’m Bob, a mechanic, musician and amateur philosopher from Chicago. I’m just getting started on this page.  I’ve kept a somewhat less-public blog on Yahoo for a little over a year now and I’m ready to venture into a bigger venue.  I have lots of written stuff already and lots more to write about.  I may need to learn how not to be obscene or defamatory and with practice, I’m sure I can do it. Or NOT do it as the case may be.
